Hey everyone! If this entry seems at all hyped up, it is because I have just narrowly escaped the frightening grasp of 5 giant honeybees that were on the INSIDE of the window of the very room I am typing in. They were spaced out so that I couldn't swat or contain one without disturbing the others in a mass killing frenzy. I don't know about you guys but I have a totally irrational and inappropriate fear of bees and wasps. I have nightmares about gargantuan ones landing on my neck, trying to kill me. I literally called my dad and had him drive over to my apartment (don't freak, only 1 block away) with some bug-zapping spray while I shouted from the living room.

Dad 5, Bees 0. My dad is a superhero.

ANYWAY, this newfound adrenaline rush has inspired me to share with you my new haircut. As promised, here is the new hair. It was inspired by these two photos:

Korean pop singer Ayumi

Ashley Olsen

I really wanted lots of shorter layers but keeping the length I had the same. My goal is to grow my hair out really crazy long with lots and lots of layers like the adorable Chinese and Japanese models. I have a lot of hair so even thinned out with layers it is still pretty full compared to Ayumi and Ashley but it's okay, I've learned to live with it. :)

Here is my hair right after getting it cut. It has no styling done to it. Still long but a little edgier and a LOT lighter-feeling.

And here is my hair after I curled it for Easter.

With "Japanese curls" style:

I'm pretty happy with it so far. Mainly it feels so much better. The damaged ends were cut off and my hair is soft and shiny. A good haircut indeed. :)

Oh, I also wanted to show you guys my mom's nails. I stayed home from work on Monday because I wasn't feeling well so she came over and I gave her a nice, simple konadicure. I used the rose pattern from GCOCL plate C02 with my favorite Sally Hansen chrome polish in pink pearl over Zoya Paris.

Pretty combination of colors, no? I thought it looked pretty classy. I was going to post SOOOO much more, but this has already been long-winded so maybe next time. I'm once again way backed up on photos and things I need to post so don't be surprised if my hair is at all lengths. :P

Woh! That came out really pretty . (:I just recently got a haircut too, same place as my last haircut because I liked how they cut my layers. Sadly, I forgot to mention to keep the length the same but a lot of layers, so now my hair is soo short. With a ton of layers. Going to have to grow it out again. >.<

Love your new hair!!! Envy the length ihihihi.. How long did it take to grow your hair THAT long!!! >< I feel that it takes forever for me and still my hair is only 3cm below shoulder : ( any secrets to make hair grow like crazy?

Kim: Oooh, I HATE when I do that. Glad I caught her right when she was asking if I wanted the length in the pic too. She only speaks Korean, so I always get nervous about getting exactly what I want across. Good luck on growing yours out though!

Kay: Oh gosh. I've always had hair that grew super fast. I don't know any secrets! If you look through my old posts you can see my hair grow. LOL.

wow! nice hair ^_^ it's similiar to me... want it grow long but with lots of layers so that it eventually goes thinner at the bottom~ :3 kinda like all the chinese long hair pictures *u*and OMG scary... 5 is quite alot! >.<

aaaaaaaa i LOVE YOUR HAIR!!! i must know how to curl hair like that! it looks so full, and loose curled, while all not looking messy. Whenever i try, it ends up looking severely messy and poofy. yours looks so good!

and im loving the nails too. i like the color choice you used. looks romantic :)

Anonymous 1: Awww, thanks! I really love layers. It brings more life to hair, I think.

What kind of primer did you want a review of? Foundation? Eyeshadow? Everything? I really only have Urban Decay Primer Potion and occasionally use the Monistat anti-chafing gel but I can always do reviews of those. :)
